An aerobics class in Bergen County is keeping senior citizens active from the safety of their balconies.

The class takes place outside an apartment building on Midland Avenue in Garfield. Instructor Lisa Cuba teaches the class from the ground while the seniors exercise on their balconies overlooking the courtyard.

Cuba says that the classes help to keep the residents physically fit and in good spirits.

“It’s important for them, mentally and spiritually, for them to move their bodies and be in good spirits so that they can live and remain strong,” she says.

Cuba hosts different sections of the class for different areas of the building. The classes are held twice a week.
